No doubt the union represents a good class, they arrange events three nights a week which comes every time something new. They always support the students and recently the wifi has been updated for the outside area and that is providing great service.

The Loughborough is the best university and most preferred by students but the service of the Wi-fi connection is very pure at the campus.
